Transparent, Secure and Precisely Fitting - With the Preliminary Project to the Optimal Cloud ERP Solution

Cloud ERP systems continue to be an absolute focus topic in the world of enterprise software. After all, the migration of the ERP system to the cloud represents a strategic milestone for the entire company, as it enables state-of-the-art processes, security and innovation.

In the run-up to migration, however, many companies are faced with the question of whether and how the company can map its business model in the cloud - and a decision is often not easy: the company's own processes appear too individual and the market for ERP solutions is too opaque. In order to be able to make a clear decision in this situation and identify a safe path to the cloud, more and more companies want to be able to fall back on a well-founded and comprehensive decision template.

This white paper discusses our proven SPARK method, which meets the demands of a comprehensive and efficient decision template.

With the preliminary project to the optimal cloud ERP solution

The advantages of cloud ERP systems and how companies benefit from them

More and more companies are opting for a stronger focus on standard processes and the transition to ERP systems from the cloud - and for good reason: Cloud ERP solutions offer numerous advantages over traditional on-premises systems. They help companies become more agile, flexible and resilient. These and other advantages are presented in the IDC study "Cloud in Germany and Austria 2023".

Reasons for using Cloud ERP

Challenges in the context of ERP decision making

When making a decision about an ERP project, companies are often confronted with a variety of problems. These challenges can have a significant impact on the decision-makers and must be taken into account as central points in the planning and implementation of such a project.

Challenges before ERP projects

SPARK - The proven method for identifying project scope, effort and solution space

In order to precisely conceptualize an ERP project, the SPARK pre-project offers a structured approach for ERP analysis, conceptualization and decision-making. The goal of the SPARK pre-project is to create clarity for decision-makers about the requirements and scope of the future ERP project, to define goals and scope for the project, and to provide a sound decision-making basis for the selection of the system and the provider. SPARK uses a standardized approach that has been successfully applied in numerous companies.

In this white paper, you will learn what makes our SPARK methodology so special and how you can work with us to find your optimal cloud ERP solution in a completely transparent, secure and custom-fit manner. You can also find out why SPARK is clearly superior to a specification sheet.

By the way: Cloud is not equal to cloud - different approaches entail different implications

In the area of cloud ERP, a distinction can be made between three approaches: Public SaaS (Software as a Service), Private SaaS of a standard system or the Managed Service approach. Find out in our white paper how the three approaches differ and what other advantages and disadvantages they each entail.
